Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ½ to 1 tablespoon raw sugar or jaggery or maple syrup or coconut sugar or palm sugar - optional or add as needed
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric (turmeric powder) or for a lesser pungent taste add ¼ teaspoon of ground turmeric powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon (cinnamon powder), use ceylon cinnamon powder and not cassia cinnamon powder- optional
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger (dried ginger powder) - optional
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed black pepper or ground black pepper (black pepper powder)
Instructions
- In a saucepan take water and raw sugar or jaggery. You can even use maple syrup or skip the sweetener completely.
- Heat the water and let it come to a boil.
- Add turmeric powder, ground ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger and crushed black pepper.
- Boil further for a minute or two.
- Pour and serve. You can even strain the tea.
- Enjoy turmeric tea hot or warm.
Notes
- For kids add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder or less.
- Other spices can be skipped but do add black pepper. You can add some more additional spices or herbs if you prefer.
- Lemon juice can be added for a bright tangy taste.
- Fresh Ginger can also be added instead of dry ginger powder. Add ½ inch ginger crushed or grated or ½ teaspoon of grated or crushed ginger.
- Grated turmeric roots can be also added. Add 1 to 1.5 inches of peeled and freshly grated turmeric root in the water and boil for 5 minutes.
- Sweeteners can be skipped or you can add your choice of sweetener like agave syrup, maple syrup, jaggery or honey. If adding honey then add once the tea is warm as jaggery becomes toxic when heated or added to hot liquids.
- If you are pregnant or about to undergo surgery, or have gallbladder problems, diabetes, bleeding disorders, acid-reflux, iron deficiency, digestion issues, infertility, liver disease, hormone disorders and arrhythmia or are on any kind of medicines or treatments, do consult your doctor before consuming turmeric or any of these spices.
- The recipe is scaleable to make for more servings.
